The Red Windmill

On a warm night in July 2009 the Red Wind Mill came alive. The fairies came alive, dancing and singing bare breasted and kicking legs as high as the cloud.


One of the girls jumped into a see through water tank which rose from the stage. There were snakes swimming in the water. She swam with the snakes. The theme was Medusa.



In another act, about circus, they paraded several ponies to the stage.


It was purely spectacular entertaintment, the setting determined the theme. It seems that snakes in the tanks detemined the Medusa theme and the ponies determined the Circus theme.


But the audience enjoyed it, the colorful furs, costumes, lighting, music and dance. No body seemed to care that they don't understand the songs, they were in French. Probably the melody determined the lyrics too. Nevertheless they all sound romantic.

The dancers are internationally selected, but they looked like the same type, size and face. Probably the stage make-up made them look the same, although the costumes were different.


Outside, in the middle of red light district, the red windmill kept revolving.


The same show, named Feerie or Fairy, has been running for 10 years, and still full house every night. Maybe the Japanesse tourists just want to see the half naked bodies.

An Oscar Speech



(applause, applause)

I like to thank the academy for the honour
and everyone in the team, our producer, our families, fans and dogs.

Hope that the wars will be over soon and the soldiers can come back
from Bagdad and Kabul, and Pandora.
To make love not war,
sniff coke not smoke.

Those who have not win
there is always another change
another war another movie
another budget another money

Let's us also remember also Haiti and Chile
Donate your Armani and Versace
your sushi and lobster
your sauna

Thank you once again for the votes
make me meet the stars.

(applause, applause- standing)

Fantastic Avatar

Fantasy about life in another world. A world where the people have blue human body with lion’s features and face. The birds and animals are like prehistoric animals, savage and strong like dinosaur. But more intelligent and can be controlled like horse. The plants also looked like pre-historic plants , huge and colorful, but also looked artificial with lighting ornaments.

The Avatar people live like Africans in safari land jungles. The hair style is undoubtedly African, life style also African. They are hunter but they don’t kill animals unnecessarily, they live in harmony with nature. With face like lion, eyes like cat, and strong and yellow teeth are yellow. But they don’t looked savage, they looked like cartoon creatures from Lion King.

They are more gentle than savage. More human than human. Their language raw but they can get in touch better. They can also get in touch with animals and plants. They are the green peace. On the other side of the world, human is the enemy, conqueror and predator. The fight between Avatar and human is the fight between two different worlds, the natural and the corrupted, the pure and the greedy, the primitive and the sophisticated.

The battles were fantastic like a super video game. Started from colossal battle like Star Wars and ended into man to man fight. From highly robotic war toys into full body contact. Entertaining but predictable.

A few human dreamed to become Avatar. Thanks to the science fiction, it can transfer human to become Avatar. It made fantasy became reality and reality felt like fantasy. Although oxygen is not transferable. What an adventure it is to live with Avatar, fly with Avatar, fight with Avatar, and cry with the Avatar when the big tree collapsed.

During an interview with an Avatar, it said that it wished to be a human, having the human intelligence, the technology , the smooth features. It was impressed with the acrobatic planes, the robot guns and rockets, 3D Computers and the long distance talks. The roads on earth, the buildings, the towers, sport cars they saw on movies.

The Avatar are just amazed how human jump and slide on snow , doing acrobatic in the air. And they earn medals for doing that, gold, or silver or bronze medals. In Avatar there is no gold, nor silver nor bronze. They hope one day they would have those.
